AAASS panel on Russian Culture and the Classical World

[Stuart Goldberg]

Dear Judith,

How are you?  I'm doing well.  Just saw Alyssa and Evan and the kids for Thanksgiving.

I'm interested in presenting a paper on the panel you are putting together.  The gist is that Mandelstam's Tristia recreates, as if in ⌠play,■ ⌠wandering along the footpaths of mystery■ √ Mandelstam▓s phrase from ⌠Pushkin i Skriabin■ √ the history of the emergence of Christianity (and hence Western culture) out of the
religion of Dionysus (as described by Ivanov in "Ellinskaia religiia stradaiushchego boga" and "Religiia Dionisa") and unveils the chaotic underside of Western culture which remains as a part of this heritage.  I will get you a title by Wednesday.

All the best,
Stuart
